Chapter 800: Chapter 802: Catching X (6)
“Fang Zheng nodded, not asking her why she didn’t go to Bai Family’s home to find Bai Changyou, nor why she didn’t call. He just said, “I’ll contact him for you.”
Lu Weixi calmly watched him leave. When he returned, he was still wearing that benign smile, the kind that showed eight teeth, revealing nothing of his true feelings. He spoke with a professional, fake smile, “I’m sorry, Mr Bai is not here. He knows about this and is quite regretful. But as you can see, the company is facing bankruptcy. As for the house, there have been one or two potential buyers looking at it in the past couple of days and one of them is quite interested. The house and the car, if sold, should bring in some money. But as you know, that money must first go towards paying the company’s debts and the employees’ salaries that have been in arrears. However, they were husband and wife, ideally, they should share the money equally. But Mr Bai said that you should have the money first. Here’s the bank card. The estimated total value of the house and car is thirteen million. After paying off the debts and salaries, there might be just a few hundred thousand left. There are three hundred thousand in this card. He’s put in a little extra money, consider it as a relief.”
Lu Weixi listened to Fang Zheng silently, neither getting angry nor furious. When he handed her the card, she did not take it.
She glanced at Fang Zheng, then at the card in his hand and then—looked at the watch on his wrist.
Then, Lu Weixi smiled faintly, didn’t take the card, and just said: “Uncle Fang, your watch is nice. Is it new?”
Fang Zheng was taken aback, and with a flick of his sleeve, hid the watch.
“A diamond-studded tourbillon by Patek Philippe, if I’m not mistaken, it’s at least eight hundred thousand. It looks quite good.” Lu Weixi was not angry, and her voice was not raised. However, this sentence made Fang Zheng, who was always calm in court, retreated a slight step.
Then, Lu Weixi took the card from his hand and put it into her wallet. Fang Zheng sighed with relief when he saw her accept the card, “Then you take your time, I will leave first.”
“Uncle Fang, do you believe in destiny?” Lu Weixi suddenly spoke, causing Fang Zheng who was about to leave to pause his steps.
“Oh, I know, you don’t believe in destiny. You studied law, everything adheres to the rule of law. Not to mention destiny, you wouldn’t even believe in the kind of karma, retribution for good and evil. What you trust is your own mouth, and the so-called ‘law’ in your heart. But, I believe. I believe that whoever hurts others, in the end, will surely lose what is most important!”
She slowly stood up, just as Fang Zheng turned around, seemingly wanting to say something. Lu Weixi had a calm expression, completely losing the haughty and overbearing demeanor she had when she initially caused a ruckus at the company. However, she appeared even more fierce now.
“This money is like giving a beggar some change. But I’m still accepting it, not for myself, but for my mother’s illness. I know that you guys are rich and powerful, and I can’t compete. Bai Changyou doesn’t want to see me? Fine. Just giving me this little money, I won’t ask him for more. Besides, with you here, I won’t get it anyway.”
